Very efficient and pleasant. Many others have provided the details, which all proved accurate for our experience, as well. We had an afternoon appointment - 1:00 pm - but we showed up at 12:20 pm and were allowed in. Periodically got up to stand at a window and hand documents and answer questions, but for the most part it was just sitting and waiting. There were four other applications on the same afternoon. Without much drama, we were told we were approved, and that we could come back the next afternoon around noon to pick up my passport. Celebrated at dinner that evening, went back and picked up the passport at noon the next day - and met up with two other applicants from the day before doing the same thing.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My 12 yr old son and I flew to Vancouver for our interview in November. It was resonably painless! When we arrived at the Consulate, we had to go through 3 security check points where they checked our documents, made us walk through a metal detector and then let into a waiting room by a security guard. We were asked some questions at one wicket then asked to wait a while longer (which seemed like FOREVER!) Then we were called down a hallway and I was asked some question by an older oriental lady who was super nice and polite. She then talked to my son for a minute and we were finished!!! We were told to wait a few minutes then given the OK to come back the next day to pick up our visa's!!!!!

Review Topic: K1 Visa

All in all, it went smoothly, and my fiancee was approved for her visa!

Appointment was at 8:30am, but we arrived at the Consulate by 6:50am.
By 7:15am, there were about 5 people on line.
The doors opened at 7:30, and we were the first people who entered after displaying our appointment letter and passports.
After screening our belongings, we awaited our trip to the 19th floor.
After a few minutes, we were called to a back booth to verify we had the proper documentation. The woman was very friendly & patient.
We were then sent to he cashier to pay the $131 (cash).
After a few more minutes, we were called back to the same booth for fingerprinting. Again, the woman was very friendly.
After a few more minutes, we were called to a tiny room for the actual interview: The man was extremely friendly, and the interview lasted less than 10 minutes. Questions consisted of where/how/when we met and when she plans to enter the U.S... read complete review

The process at the consulate was extremely easy and painless! If you read other's reviews like I did prior to your interview, you will prepare yourself for the big day.

This is how the morning went:

1. Wife and I woke up at 5:45, got changed, and went downstairs for the complementary breakfast in our hotel the Embassy Suites.
2. 6:55 - Walked from the hotel to the consulate. 10 minute walk. (Extremely cold -18C)
3. First to the door, at 7:10.
4. A few others started to show up around 7:20.
5. Security guard opened the main doors at 7:30.
6. We were the first to enter, we proceeded through security, and left my remote entry for my car behind. They gave me a ticket to retrieve it on my way out. I was handed a packet, and on the top was a plastic letter "A". We then proceeded down the stairs and sat in the chairs in front of the elevator.
7. The security guard came down at 7:45, and called letters A-E. As we were A, w... read complete review
